The excuse that Rome used to declare war was the fact that Carthage raised an army to defend herself against territorial encroachments by the Numidians, their next door neighbours, without consulting Rome. Under the terms of the peace treaty Carthage was demilitarised and she was not allowed to raise an army without Rome's consent. Carthage thought that when she finished paying a 50-year war indemnity to Rome she had fulfilled the peace treaty and was free form it. There was a political faction in Rome which wanted to destroy Carthage to eliminate this rival because she had recovered economically after the second war. They were worried about Carthage's economic resurgence.
